Psycho Educational Assessments
Discovering Unique Potential
We believe that every child possesses a distinctive set of abilities and talents. It's essential to identify and nurture these attributes early on. By understanding individual strengths and struggles, our clinicians equip parents with the necessary tools to support their child, ensuring they thrive and flourish.
What Is A Psycho-Educational Assessment?
A psycho-educational assessment delves deep into a child's intellectual profile, learning performance, behavioural challenges, and social-emotional functioning. We customize our assessment process to fit the individual needs of each unique child. Our process includes:
- An initial parent interview to understand your child's history and developmental journey.
- Administration of the cognitive assessment (lasting approximately 90 minutes).
- A comprehensive report detailing findings, complemented by tailored behavioural and educational recommendations specific to your child.
- A feedback session with parents to discuss the assessment results and address any queries.
Why Might Families Seek an Assessment?
Different families might opt for an assessment for various reasons:
Learning Aspects:
- Seeking clarity around reasons for a child's sub-par school performance.
- Identifying potential learning disorders like dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia.
- Evaluating intellectual ability and achievement for possible inclusion in programs for gifted students.
- Reviewing cognitive and academic performance for potential special examination arrangements with the School Curriculum and Standards Authority.
Behavioural Concerns:
- Investigating challenging behaviours, such as attention deficits or hyperactivity issues.
